Olvidados en el alambre

For three days and three nights, these African migrants clung desperately to life. Their means of survival is a tuna net, being towed across the Mediterranean by a Maltese tug that refused to take them on board after their frail boat sank.
Malta and Libya, where they had embarked on their perilous journey, washed their hands of them. Eventually, they were rescued by the Italian navy.
The astonishing picture shows them hanging on to the buoys that support the narrow runway that runs around the top of the net. They had had practically nothing to eat or drink.

  1. Ha tenido que ir un remolcador español de salvamento a por ellos. La historia nos pasará factura por lo que estamos haciendo con esta gente. No hay día que no me avergüence de pertenecer al género humáno.

  2. Es brutal, no encuentro las palabras. Y luego sale Rajoy con la frivolidad del efecto llamada.
